The ass-kickingest matches ever

[clintthecrippler]

Maybe not as stiff as the Japan matches mentioned above, but I was watching the One Man Gang vs. Big Bubba Rogers match from the Mid-South set last night and thought of this thread. The first half of the match is pretty much just fat guys throwing bombs at each other.

Finlay vs Regal in the parking lot brawl from Nitro probably fits the bill.

[Frankensteiner]

The Hashimoto/Regal IWGP title match from '95 would be my pick.

[Wolfman]

Nasty Boys vs. Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan at Slamboree 1994 in Philly

Vader vs Boss man from Spring Stampede 1994 is a fun super heavyweight sprint where they knock the stuffing out of each other. Bossman's best match?

I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92.

 

Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him.

I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92.

 

Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him.

I was live in Jacksonville for the Steiners beat down on Iizuka and it was even more brutal watching from the second row.

Some of those Garvin vs Valentine matches are pretty stiff. I enjoyed an MSG one they had just as much as the Rumble match, can't remember the date.

Personally, I liked the Kobashi/Sasaki match from the Tokyo Dome in '05. Kobashi's match from the same venue a year prior with Jun Akiyama is just a brutal, stiff fight.

 

The Low-Ki vs. KENTA match from ROH Final Battle '05 is stiff as all hell.

[MJH]

Dream Rush Tag. Hokuto/Kandori's already been mentioned. There's a shitload of Joshi from then (and other times) that could apply, but you might as well take the best matches.

[RyanClingman]

All of the Shibata/Goto and Shibata/Ishii matches from this year seem to fit the bill.

[rainmakerrtv]

Lioness Asuka vs. Yumiko Hotta (AJW 3/26/95)

 

Dubbed a UFC Rules Match, just insanely brutal.

[NintendoLogic]

I recently saw Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki, and I'm amazed that it hasn't been mentioned yet. In fact, it pretty much epitomizes what I had in mind when I created this thread.

[Timbo Slice]

There's a Kawada/Nagai match from 2001 where Nagai basically gets nothing in at all and Kawada just destroys him. He busts out the half crab and stomps, which made me cringe.

[rzombie1988]

Ishii vs Shibata from the G1 2013
